[edit] Composition

Trains are composed in a classification yard. These large, uninviting structures are excellent locations for train spotting and graffiti sighting. Switcher or shunter locomotives help the composing.

What a strange amalgam of AmE, BrE, POV statements, and English-as-a-foreign-language! -- Picapica 18:24, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reorganized the page

i have just reorganized the page as the more important information was left at the bottom of the page i have also used a new introduction from a different page which i feel better describes what this article is about but i still feel it all needs work. L blue l 09:03, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Still needs a LOT of work, especially since it is the 'main' link from 'Operations' section of the Rail transport page, which has been selected for Wikipedia 0.7, and itself needs a good deal of work.

[edit] Statement moved from article

Moved the following from article space to here. Unsourced and had sig, prob meant to be here anyhow:

The correct terminology for the system in Britain is Absolute block and track circuit block Michaelduly 20:00, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

The above states that this is unsourced. I am a railway signaller fully qualified and signalling trains in the UK. I work for Network Rail. As previosly stated the correct terminology for signalling in the UK is absolute block and track circuit block.
